In the near future, the lignocellulosic C4 crops Miscanthus and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) are unlikely to outcompete
sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) in net energetic yearly yield of transport biofuel ha(-1). This holds both for the thermochemical
conversion into liquid hydrocarbons and the enzymatic conversion into ethanol. Currently, Miscanthus and switchgrass would
also not seem able to outcompete corn (Zea mays) in net energetic yearly yield of liquid transport biofuel ha(-1), but further
development of these lignocellulosic crops may gradually lead to a different outcome.
